260 would be a very good choice, but who makes 260 with 1:8 twist on the budget? Savage makes 11 FCNS you can get one for about 550 - 600 it has 22" barrel, but if it was me I would get their Stevens model and add custom prefit barrel then change its trigger to sss or rifle basix down the road...

I switched barrel on my old 111 Savage in 270 WIN to 260 REM, I got CBI barrel in 260 Rem for about $265 from Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply. It's great shooter, I have no problem taking out bugs at 100 yards with it

Not a thing wrong with just rebarreling an old favorite.

I'll be doing that with at least one, maybe two of mine in the next six months.
